Matt Stairs is up there, but I think I have him beat by a couple years.

I’ve got a 49 mph fastball unlike any in the Major Leagues guaranteed! Add to that a change up that is hard to believe (honest) :D . As an added bonus I was every bit as fast as Maury Wills at his peak an equal number of years and pounds ago. You do know what they say about how things get better with age, you could look it up.

Anyway, I would be happy to sacrifice and sign on at the league minimum to help out.

Good for them.

Bobby Bonilla is making more than a $1 million a year for the next 20 years to not play for the Mets. I feel grossly underpaid at my current $0 salary.

Good for him. HEY ANYONE, I’m a free agent. 36 year old knuckleballer,,,haven’t pitched in 15 years, but I’m available for a contract with at least 2 commas in the the number………Worth a shot eh?

Because I don’t think anyone saw this coming.
